Technical Abstract

A polysilicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display (polysilicon TFT LCD) has a panel, a common voltage layer, a plurality of display cells, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality data lines, and a plurality common voltage drivers. The scan lines and the data lines are coupled to the display cells. Each of the common voltage drivers is formed in the panel and is used to generate a common voltage and to apply the common voltage to the common voltage layer.

Patent Claims
5 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A polysilicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display comprising: a panel; a common voltage layer formed in the panel; a plurality of display cells; a plurality of scan lines formed in the panel and coupled to the display cells; a plurality of data lines formed in the panel and coupled to the display cells; and a plurality of common voltage drivers formed in the panel, the common voltage drivers comprising polysilicon thin film transistors, and each common voltage driver being for generating a common voltage applied to the common voltage layer.

2

2. The polysilicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display of claim 1 wherein the common voltage is an alternating voltage.

3

3. The polysilicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display of claim 1 further comprising: a scan line driver coupled to the plurality of scan lines; at least a data line driver coupled to the plurality of data lines; and a timing control circuit for generating a timing signal; wherein the scan line driver and the data line driver control operations of the display cells based on the timing signal.

4

4. The polysilicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display of claim 1 further comprising an interface for receiving and transmitting an image signal such that the display cells operate based on the image signal.

5

5. The polysilicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display of claim 1 wherein each display cell further comprises: a liquid crystal component comprising: a pixel electrode; and a common electrode coupled to the common voltage layer; and a polysilicon thin film transistor comprising: a gate electrically connected to a corresponding scan line; a source electrically connected to a corresponding data line; and a drain electrically connected to the pixel electrode of the liquid crystal component.
